XEROX DOCUPRINT NETWORK PRINTER SERIES INSTALLATION PLANNING GUIDE FOR MODELS 4050/4090 NPS
When an NPS is purchased, the owner needs to receive a license to
use the operating system software. Once a user calls in with a host
ID, (Sun SPARC/Ultra host ID), the user receives a license string.
Refer to the "Setting up the printer controller" chapter in the Guide to
Configuring and Managing the System (section titled "Loading the
NPS software license text stream").
This license is enabled by entering a 20-character authorization text
string at the printer controller keyboard. Your Xerox service
representative obtains this license text string for you and enters it
when your NPS is installed.
Until this license string is entered, your NPS cannot receive data from
the host to print. You can power on and boot the system, and perform
all offline tasks such as setting up input and output configurations,
but the NPS remains in Disabled mode and cannot print.
Although your service representative usually does this for you, you
also can enter your license string, by selecting NPS Authorization
Enablement from the Administration pulldown menu on the NPS
main window. Refer to your NPS Guide to Configuring and Managing
the System, "Setting up the printer controller" chapter, for the
procedure.
Note: If your system will be operating in Dual Mode, it requires two
license strings: one for IPS and one for NPS.
